Class Experience

Jump into the world of possibilities with improv theatre.  

Class will always begin with an ice breaker to encourage students to feel like they are part of our ensemble and not alone.  

We'll learn some fun improv warm-up game to get us thinking on our feet and laying the foundation for skills we'll need later in class.  These will be a games that students can continue to play with family and friends outside of class.

We'll then build on our skills and jump into some short form improvisation games.  No prior experience necessary.  We'll take games step by step and challenge students where they are in their improv journey.  

The game-based cooperative techniques of improvisation engages the imagination, promotes problem-solving, teaches communication, and nurtures self expression in a structured and positive way - all while kids are having a blast!

Learning Goals

Students will get to jump into the fun world of improvisation and learn how "yes, and" can add to a theatrical world of possibilities.  Students will walk away with games that they can play later with friends and family both on zoom and in person.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from Towson University
I am back from hiking the Appalachian Trail!  I am opening up my teaching schedule and up to schedule requests (and class requests).  In January, I begin a MFA in children's book writing but will be able to continue teaching.  

I am a theater educator and artist based in Chicago, IL.  I am the founder and director of Storytown, a fully improvised, interactive adventure for kids.  Through Storytown, we work to cultivate creativity and arts appreciation while audiences to story structure and problem solving.  

I graduated from Towson University with BA in Theater Arts and then moved to Chicago to study improvisation.  I studied at  the iO and Second City.  I have performed around Chicago with iO, Second City's Skybox Theater,  Moving Dock Theater Company, Redtwist Theatre, and WNEP with Seven Deadly Plays and 365 Sketches.

I focus on improvisation because it teaches students to express themselves while being big and bold.  When we fail, we fail greatly and get right back up and try again.  My goal is not to train students to be actors when they grow up, but rather to make them better humans.  I focus on "yes, and" and ensemble building.  I believe we're better when we support each other and work as a team.

I live in Chicago with my cat Sonny and my husband.  We love hiking and camping when we can. Not Sonny, but she does like laying outside on our balcony.
